About this organization
Mission
United Way of Greater St. Louis mobilizes the community with one goal in mind – helping people live their best possible lives. We unite people, resources and funding to help build strong and equitable communities where everyone can thrive.
About
United Way of Greater St. Louis began in 1922 as the Community Fund, organized by volunteers to raise money to help operate 40 charities. By the 1950s, more than 1,000 communities across the U.S. and Canada had established United Ways. In 1974, United Ways raised nearly $1.04 billion, marking the first time in history that a single organization raised more than $1 billion in an annual campaign. Over its long history, United Way has helped with everything from the Persian Gulf War to the Olympic torch relay to the President’s Summit for America’s Future. It’s won awards, such as the Charity of Choice from Financial World magazine. Across the country, United Ways now raise more than $4 billion annually. United Way continues to flourish and use its storied past as a guide on how to best serve the community. Instead of supporting a single cause, we focus on 5 impact areas – essential needs, early childhood and youth success, health and wellbeing, jobs and financial mobility, and community stability and crisis response. United Way equips over 160 local nonprofits with vital funding and training resources to keep our region’s safety net healthy and help us fulfill these impact areas. These nonprofits and more make use of United Way’s Volunteer Center to galvanize the community around their efforts. We operate the region’s largest Volunteer Center that mobilizes thousands of local people, companies, and groups through meaningful volunteer opportunities. We also connect our neighbors to resources and support near them using our 211 helpline and navigation center. 211 is a free resource that is available 24/7 to find providers, programs and services for those in need. Each year we receive more than 100,000 requests for help from our community through 211. All of these efforts are a part of our valued mission of helping people live their best possible lives. Working together, we will continue to create a stronger, healthier, and more equitable St. Louis region.
